Panel: Oversight of Licensers Needed
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A panel appointed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to look into commercial driver license bribery in the Chicago area found driver licensers were not being adequately monitored in Illinois and nationwide.
The panel’s report is still getting the required approvals from within FMCSA, but Kevin O’Brien, a member of the panel, provided some insight into the findings.
“Monitoring [of third party testers] is grossly inadequate, but I don’t think we would find much different being done in other states,” he said. “Not that it is happening elsewhere, but the vulnerability is there.”
